Wednesday we had lunch in the Solarium.

 

They have a Cafe there with hamburgers and Hot Dogs and Pizza and a few other things.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Judith had the Pizza and said it was sort of like School Cafeteria Pizza. (Not too good)

We had a good time at dinner in the MDR Wednesday night with our great table mates!

Unfortunately, the Pork Loin was dry and the Beef Stroganoff was simply "not right"

Thursday was Tug Boat Day in Punta Arenas

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is the pier. The Vision tied up to the left side of the pier, stern in.

 

The current was flowing from right to left and the Vision simply did not have enough power using its main engines and bow thrusters to snuggle up close to the pier.

 

So the tug boats helped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There was lots of flurry and commotion but eventually we got tied up to the pier.

Do you intend to keep posting here on your return trip or start a new thread?

I will continue with this thread for the entire 28 nights...

Yesterday we went on the Coastal Orientation Tour.

 

We had a good time because we were on a small bus with a Tour Guide who spoke excellent English and had a great personality and a zillion facts and stories.

 

However, we were nowhere near the coast. We rode all over the country and stopped at a shoping place and in a village square to see some young girls doing native dances.

Dancing girls were adorable. Looks like there might have been 1 boy too.

 

Food porn made me hungry.

 

 

Pictures are great. You are doing a great job. Just remember, this is your vacation, so if you can't post from time to time, don't worry. Enjoy your cruise. We will still be here when you get a chance to post.

 

Thanks,

Gwen :)

Hi Trainman, thanks for all of your efforts. The Internet connection can sure be frustrating!! Have you tried just uploading your pics, comments, etc, to a document on your computer and then when you get Internet loading it onto the boards? I did that (minus the pics), and it made it easier, I could sit in my stateroom and put my thoughts, etc in Word, then the next day when I had Internet upload it. It also saved money as I could do it all offline until it was time to upload it to the boards. That way it only took a couple of seconds. Unfortunately I am not great with the pics uploading to the boards, haven't quite figured it out.

Thank you for all of your efforts, we really appreciate it.

 

Hope this helps:

On this board, when you want to upload pictures,you need to click on "post reply", on the left at the top of the page. Then, scroll down to where it says "manage attachments", this is where you upload your files photos,urls,etc.
